  • Tackling Malaria
    Tackling Mal aria Interventions available today could lead to decisive gains in prevention and treatment—if only the world would apply them By Claire Panosian Dunavan Long ago in the Gambia, West Africa, a two-year-old boy named Ebrahim almost died of malaria. Decades later Dr. Ebrahim Samba is still reminded of the fact when he looks in a mirror. That is because his mother—who had already buried several children by the time he got sick—scored his face in a last-ditch effort to save his life. The boy not only survived but eventually became one of the most well-known leaders in Africa: Regional Director of the World Health Organization. Needless to say, scarification is not what rescued Ebrahim Samba. The question is, What did? Was it the particular strain of parasite in his blood that day, his individual genetic or immunological makeup, his nutritional state? After centuries of fighting ma- laria—and conquering it in much of the world—it is amazing what we still do not know about the ancient scourge, including what determines life and death in severely ill chil- dren in its clutches. Despite such lingering questions, however, today we stand on the threshold of hope. Investigators are studying malaria survivors and tracking many other leads in efforts to develop vaccines. Most important, proven weapons—princi- pally, insecticide-treated bed nets, other antimosquito strategies, and new combination drugs featuring an ancient Chinese herb—are moving to the front lines. In the coming years the world will need all the malaria weapons it can muster.

  • WHO Funding Letter
    April 24, 2020 President Donald Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Trump: During this unprecedented global crisis, it is imperative for the U.S. to demonstrate leadership by working with the global community not only to stop the spread of COVID-19, but also to help strengthen the global public health architecture to mitigate a crisis of this magnitude from happening again. Therefore, we, the undersigned organizations, urge the U.S. Administration to continue to fund the World Health Organization (WHO) to end this pandemic. The United States cannot rid this insidious virus from the country, nor around the world, without WHO. WHO is the only organization with the technical capacity and global mandate to support the public health response of all countries during this critical time. China first alerted WHO to the possibility of a novel type of coronavirus on December 31, 2019. WHO worked closely with U.S. public health institutions like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as the global community, to collect, analyze, and disseminate public health information about COVID-19. These actions equipped countries with advance warning and guided states’ efforts to prepare for the spread of the virus. Just one day after receiving the alert from China, WHO alerted the CDC and by January 10, WHO issued guidance to countries on how to detect, test, and manage potential cases of the novel virus, and best practices to protect health workers delivering care on the frontlines of the response.

  • The 11Th AMWC Welcomes Internationally Prominent Infectious
    11th Armenian Medical World Congress Welcomes Internationally Prominent Infectious Disease Experts Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death in developing countries, killing one in three people worldwide. Prevention and treatment can vary from simple, cost-effective measures like an insecticide- treated bednet or a vaccine to life-long anti-viral treatment for HIV/AIDS. In the case of HIV/AIDS, the African continent has the highest disease burden since Africa currently has two-thirds of all people living with HIV worldwide. Malaria, an age-old mosquito-borne scourge, kills approximately 660,000 people each year, primarily children under the age of five. About 90 percent of malaria deaths occur in Africa, followed by South East Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean. Despite recent strides in malaria prevention and treatment, anti- malarial drug resistance is a growing problem. Other global threats to child survival include upper respiratory infection and diarrhea as well as dengue fever, a mosquito-borne virus. At the other end of the spectrum, adult deaths due to respiratory infections can be mitigated by new and improved vaccines as well as diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, but the rising global tide of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is creating new challenges. “With the globalization of economies and the escalation of commercial travel, the interaction among people of different origins has increased, and with that the potential for the transmission of old and new infectious diseases,” says Alex Jawharjian, PharmD, MPH,
